Room 8 has been busy this year!

As part of our classroom displays for Art, Craft & Market Day, Miss Bolton has made a slideshow of what we have been doing this year (so far). Enjoy the show!

Our first Google Ninja black belt!

Well done Brier, you are the first Room 8 student to achieve a black belt in any of the Google Apps.   I know if I have any questions about using Google Slides, I'll definitely be coming to see you!

Thank you for already sharing your knowledge and helping out the other students in our class.  

Learning about Asthma

Today Paerata School learned about asthma.  Chris and Sailor the Puffer Fish came to explain to us what asthma is and how we can help people who suffer from asthma.

Room 8 learned a lot, after the show we put together this slideshow.  We hope you learn something about asthma by watching our slideshow.

Why do we celebrate Waitangi Day?

Room 8 has researched information about the Treaty of Waitangi.  It is an important document in our country's history, but what do we know about it?

The students in Room 8 were asked to research about the Treaty and present this information using Google Slideshow.

For some students this was the first time they had used Google Slideshow.  I think everyone did an amazing job, especially since they only had just over an hour to research and present their work!

Sun facts

As part of our inquiry unit, Room 1 has been researching facts about our sun. We have shared our knowledge by created a Google Slideshow. Some people learned how to add transitions and animate their text and images. Enjoy learning about the sun. Please leave a comment!

How to use Google Slides

A good how to clip!

Safe2School Day slideshow

We have started using Google Slideshow in our class.  We are learning how to collaborate on the same slideshow.

Miss Bolton asked us to write two sentences about the Safe2School Day we had at Paerata.  We had to write an introductory sentence and a sentence saying what our favourite part of the day was and why.

How do you think we did?
